Twenty-first

Well here it is, that blessed day of the year in which I was born. It's crazy to think that just yesterday I was twirling around in my Cinderella dress dreaming of going to prom, having my first kiss, graduating high school, and being a grown-up. Today is my twenty-first birthday and I am, I guess you can say I'm an adult now. That's crazy to me. I don't want to grow up, it's a trap. Growing up means more stress, debt, and heartbreak. But then there is a bright future ahead for me, adventure, love, family, memories, friendships. That's exciting to me! This year is going to be my year. The past is in the past and I am a stronger woman because of it. I have found myself and my voice, and I feel like I can accomplish so much in my life. My dreams are much more vivid than ever. I know that the best is yet to come and I believe it. Thank you to all of the people who have been supporting me and always encouraging me. I am ready to breathe in with a new positive outlook and revel in the beauty of life and the divine moments around me. Cheers to year twenty-one, you shall be epic!
